Over filtering is always a good thing.
I think if you joined a fish forum,they would tell you the same.

Flow rates are important in this respect, but biological media area is also important. I know of several experienced aquascapers, including the likes of George Farmer, Tom Barr and Takashai Amano, all peform maintenance on their filters every 2-3 weeks.
I kept a lightly stocked 60 litre tank with a breeding group of Chocolate gouramis, the filter (an Eheim Ecco external) would be almost blocked within two weeks due to the amount of organic matter collecting in the media. |
